I have a Stealth. It’s a nice all mountain powder board, but it’s not a stiff carving board. I ride it w hard boots but you can’t push it too hard or it’ll chatter or buckle. The lack of a wrap around edge is indeed a problem, and if you beat up the tail it looks like it will eventually delam. These are probably made in China, because you can find very similar looking boards on Alibaba.com (see photo). So yes, you’re paying a bit for good marketing. But that’s true for many other brands too. If you like the shape / specs it could be the right board for you.
